Analysis of circumstances leading to injuries in elite football players (2023)
Thesis
Aiello, F. Analysis of circumstances leading to injuries in elite football players. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University

Understanding injury mechanisms is key to developing prevention strategies. Information concerning injury mechanisms can be obtained by analysing the sportspecific activities during which injuries occur (i.e., inciting circumstances). Despite the rec...

Exploring what Student Engagement means for Biology Educators: What can Gamification Research tell us? (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Garden, C. L. P. (2023, July). Exploring what Student Engagement means for Biology Educators: What can Gamification Research tell us?. Presented at Society for Experimental Biology Centenary Conference, Edinburgh

The way we teach experimental biology continues to change as we recover, and learn lessons, from the COVID-19 pandemic. We often discuss student engagement as part of this process, but what does this mean in practice? How can we tell if students are...
